"At Nokia we want to know how the personnel is doing and how we should allocate the efforts at occupational health services in order to promote their well-being in the best possible way. We carried out the Sante Health Survey for the personnel of Nokia Oyj in 2004 for the first time, and we have been continuing with the survey by making this an ongoing process in the company. The surveys are sent out in several rounds during the year, which helps to allocate the work load in the occupational health service evenly. By conducting these health surveys, we streamline the health check-up process and also obtain group level information on the health and well-being of the personnel. This helps us to plan the processes and allocate the interventions", says Jan Schugk, Director, Global Occupational Health and Safety at Nokia Group.

"At the Lemminkäinen Group, we feel that regular health surveys are an important part of HR management. Our joint research project demonstrated the need for health survey, and we want to continue our cooperation with Evalua. The surveys enable us to collect information related to employee wellbeing and health in a secure manner. We consider the physical, mental and social wellbeing and coping skills of our employees to be a key priority. To promote coping skills, we stress the importance of early diagnosis if the employee's health is compromised. The survey also allows to keep track of changes in the employee's health and to refer the person to possible further consultation and care," says Maarit Järvinen, chief occupational health nurse, Lemminkäinen Oyj.
